I haven't cathed since Sunday. Each day I did it there was more blood. I got tranquility atns approved by my Medicaid and found a supplier who would get them for me. They will be delivered in the next couple of days. For now, I am done cathing. Maybe I'll try it again in the future but I'm not rushing it. |

well you did give it a try. I cannot tell you the number of meds I tried and ended up saying no due to side effects or it just didn't help. |

justj, Don't be too hasty. If you are still finding blood after cathing, check the eyelets on your catheter. When I had blood after self-cathing I found that my inexpensive (cheap) catheters (samples provided by my urologist's nurse) had large and sharp-edged eyelets. That had caused internal abrasions. After I changed to better catheters the problem immediately went away. Good luck. --John |

I just got a call back from my urologist. They are giving me something for bladder pain. If it doesn't improve in a few days I'll go in to give a urine sample. She didnt think it was a uti but was glad I called. |
